This is open 7:20-2:30 and has amazing brunch! *not sure if they serve alcohol. Not great for large groups because it is very small.

Sightseeing
The Sarah P Duke gardens is a large area just outside the Duke Campus with so much to see. You can walk anywhere and see beautiful plants, ponds, etc. We bring a lunch, find a nice spot and have a picnic while our kids explore. There are only a few bathrooms and there is duck food available at the visitors center. (No Food or water for sale unless the snack shack happens to be open)

Restaurants are changing here but it is still a nice place to walk around and explore with kids. Parking in the parking structure is free and easy. You can also walk to DPAC or Bulls Stadium from here.

This is the closest place to grab a drink (unless you head to a chain restaurant) from the Hollyhock House. Indoor and outdoor seating, usually not very crowded. Beer for purchase to bring back to the house as well.

Yes, this is a nursery but Th-Su they have a 'garden shack' that serves some great adult beverages and the best Italian ice! they have lots of seating around the nursery to enjoy a beverage and occasionally live music. We like to go here almost every Sunday with the kids for some nice down time and a treat.

Neighborhoods
Downtown is amazing. It's small, safe, and easy to get to. My favorite place to bar hop is Brightleaf. (You can get parking validated but if you leave late enough, the gates are open) Main street has a lot of great places as well and the botique hotels all have great bars and restaurants inside. Pour is a wine lovers paradise! Another area to check out is the Warehouse district on Rigsbee Ave. Lots of dive bars to pop into! We have tons of breweries and distilleries if that is something you are into. Too many good ones to list!

I don't spend a lot of time in Chapel Hill personally, but it is super close! Franklin street has most the bars and restaurants and I always enjoy driving through sorority row and seeing the houses.
